We
can't be more delighted with the 127:1 quick ration conversion,
blueprinting and power steering pump rebuild on our 1974 AMC Javelin AMX. When we turn the wheel, it has more effort and turns instantly
that direction. Now, it responds just like a modern car with rack
and pinion steering. Your conversion is simply amazing and is a
must have for classic hot rods and muscle cars like ours. I thought
we were going to have live with zero feedback and ultra slow
response but not anymore thanks to Power Steering Services.
Fantastic job on the show detailing too and well worth the price (it
gives us a little extra edge at the shows, just went to our first
yesterday). Your personalized instructions allowed my buddy
and I to R&R the gear box and power steering pump ourselves with
great results. Thanks for the great product and top notch
service. We highly recommend your conversion to anyone with an
AMC Javelin, AMX or Javelin AMX! S.C., 1974 AMC Javelin AMX

"I realized that you were underpaid by about
three dollars or so. I tried to guess close but still missed
the mark a little. Please accept a a small token of my
appreciation for the FLAWLESS work your shop has performed for me.
Power Steering Services, Inc. is highly recommended on the boards for
good reason. The Saginaw box is OEM perfect. Thank you
Chip, I look forward to recommending you as well." C.H.,

"The steering box you sent me I have now
installed and it has cured the problem I was having for 7 years.
I was too stupid to know that 4 and 1/4 turns was even available let
alone be put in my '98 Ram 12V 2500 by some factory worker that did
not know or care. The box you sent, 3 turns plus 20 degrees
and I knew immediately it would make a big difference which it has.
The truck steers the way a truck should: straight down the
road, no nonsense. I hate to admit I drove semis for 16 years
in 48 states and did not know why my damn Ram did not steer as it
should. One of your customers wrote in about his problem to
Turbo Diesel Register (TDR) and that you had answered his questions
and put him on the right track. Because of him I phoned you
and got an education which I do so very much appreciate. I
was impressed with the Borgeson shaft. My old one had a
rubber connection that would probably have been OK for non-power
steering but I could see no use for it and evidently Borgeson does
not like it either. I wrote in to TDR about my episode to try
to be of help to others with the same problem and mentioned I got
the rebuilt box from you and I hope that will generate some business
for you. Best regards." J.B. 1998 Dodge Ram

"The May 2000 issue of Muscle Car Review
contained an article ("How To Upgrade Your GM Power Steering Box,"
p. 60) highlighting a GM power steering box upgrade by Power
Steering Services. I was rebuilding the front suspension of my
'69 GTO, and the article was very timely.
I called Power Steering Services and spoke
with Chip Woyner. Mr. Woyner was incredibly helpful and
patient. I had never worked on a power steering unit and I had
numerous questions. His assurances regarding how the upgrade
would improve handling and his offer to provide guidance if I ran
into difficulty removing or replacing the equipment convinced me to
complete the upgrade.
Power Steering Services completed the work
within the promised time frame, and Mr. Woyner immediately answered
e-mail questions I sent regarding installation of the box. The
project was a success and I would recommend this upgrade for all GM
musclecar owners. I only wish that every vendor in this
musclecar hobby was as squared away as Power Steering Services (No,
I don't own stock. I've never met Mr. Woyner or anyone else
associated with the company)." M.N., 1969 Pontiac GTO

"IT was well worth the money. My '71
Chevelle never handled better. I feel the road again. Thanks
again!" J.D., 1971 Chevrolet Chevelle

"Chip, I wanted to let you know that I
finished installing the power steering on my Chevelle. I works
like a dream! I should have done that years ago! I
appreciate your help and patience, and love the results.
Thanks again." T.V. Chevrolet Chevelle

"Chip, I would like to thank you for all of
the help in getting original power steering for my wife's '66 Olds.
Her enjoying this car would not be possible if not for the extra
lengths you went to making sure we had the right parts, and the
extra steps you went to when we ran into a couple of issues.
You were absolutely right, with this power steering and especially
the 12.7:1 ratio, it makes driving the car a more pleasurable
experience. My wife is amazed at the fact she can drive down
the road and steer her car with one finger instead of fighting it to
turn corners and park.
The second pulley for the pump you send worked
perfect and actually allowed my mechanic to un-shim the pump almost
all of the way, making the pump have a sturdier mount.
If I hear of anyone needing original power
steering for their Olds vehicle, your name and number will be the
one I give along with the highest recommendations as the leader in
your field. Thanks for everything." D.W., 1966

"I read the Car Craft article, and I went
through all this 3 years ago. There are small problems associated
with all the swaps as pointed out in the CC article. I sent my
original '66 power steering box and pump to: Chip Woyner, 2347
E. Kearney, Springfield, MO 65803,
www.powersteering.com.
He rebuilt my original 24-1 box into a
12.7:1 and rebuilt my original pump to match the box, sold me new
hoses, and taught me all about power steering set-ups (knowledge
which I did not retain). But what I did retain is this, If you want
to mess with all the hassle of trying to find used parts (then pray
they actually work) and swap all of in, then maybe it will work out
as you want and maybe it will need doing again to get it right, you
can. But what I did is fool proof. And everyone who drives my car
comments on the steering. It is great!! It comes back clean, black,
like new, ready to bolt on and use with no problems, guaranteed.
Chip is famous in other circles, that's how I found him. He is a
good, honest, easy to talk to man and I highly recommend him and his
company.
The guy who did my front end alignment again
this spring after I put all needed new parts in the front of my '66
drove it after he aligned it came back with a big smile, "There are
NO old cars that drive like that" he says. Well we both know that
was just paying a compliment, but if I do say so, it is impressive,
I wish I would have done this many years ago.
BTW I swapped a used "Quick ratio box" onto
the car before I did the rebuilding thing and had problems. Mostly
due to the pump and the box being mismatched, but the box was also
less than perfect. I am thankful I found Chip. He's the Man!! with
power, and manual, steering.
This has been a non paid non political public
service announcement." Mike, 1966 GM

"Chip, I finally got a chance to install the
box you sent me. It is on a 2001 Dodge 4x4 diesel. All I can say
is wow. The difference is amazing. I had spent a small fortune
on this truck. I had converted to the 98 T style steering, and
had also installed the DSS stabilizer. Nothing made as much
difference in the way the truck drives as the new box did. The
install only took about an hour. I followed your instructions
and I had no problems. Even with the ratio change, the truck is
still very easy to turn when not moving. Highway speeds are much
better now. The constant correction I was having to do before is
gone and the truck responds like a new one. I’ll get the core on
the way back to you. Thanks." B.M., 2001 Dodge 4x4

"Chip, I received both boxes on Tuesday, and
everything looks absolutely great! PS pump looks like it did in
1968! Steering box looks perfect---I love the finish, the date
codes showing thru and the Saginaw logo. Thanks for making my
steering parts look like new again! Merry Christmas!" T.B.,
